TVCA-PROC-0869 - Autonomous Passenger Service Vehicle Trial at Teesworks - Pre-tender Market Engagement

Tees Valley Combined Authority (TVCA) (the "Contracting Authority") seeks to engage the market through this Pre-Tender Market Engagement (PTME) exercise in preparation for the potential procurement of a supplier to conduct a 14-week trial of an autonomous Passenger Service Vehicle. Through this PTME, the Contracting Authority aims to: •Understand the market’s appetite to be involved in the potential future procurement exercise; •Validate the supplier's proposal; •Understand the capacity of the market and timescales for delivery; •Understand potential risks associated with the procurement; •Understand opportunities, costs and considerations; and •Provide potential suppliers with an opportunity to raise queries and points of consideration in advance of any potential procurement exercise. Collaboration with the supply chain is central to our approach to delivering the proposed Autonomous Passenger Service Vehicle Trial at Teesworks. While the Authority will maintain commercial confidentiality of information received during the PTME, its output will be communicated to potential suppliers as part of any subsequent procurement exercises.
